The present invention relates to a photosensitive organic dye, and more particularly to a photosensitive organic dye for a photoelectric converting device. The present invention also relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell.
Recently, with increasing awareness of environmental protection, the demand on renewable energy is growing. Among various renewable energy sources, solar energy is expected to replace fossil fuel as a new energy source because it provides clean energy without depletion. The solar energy may be converted into electric energy without generating contaminants. In other words, the solar energy source is the most viable renewable energy source.
Generally, a solar cell is used to convert solar energy into electric energy. The conventional solar cell is made of semiconducting materials. In particular, the silicon-based solar cell is the mainstream in the market. The photoelectric conversion efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of the conventional solar cell are gradually improved. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of the conventional solar cell are still unsatisfied so far. Consequently, many academic institutions and manufacturers devote much effort in improving the original solar cell configurations and looking for the novel solar cell configuration in order to increase the performance and reduce the fabricating cost. For example, a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the candidate solar cells because the fabricating cost of the dye-sensitized solar cell is as low as one tens to one fifth of the fabricating cos of the conventional silicon-based solar cell. Moreover, since it is not necessary to produce the dye-sensitized solar cell under the high-temperature vacuum environment, the production conditions of the dye-sensitized solar cell are less stringent than the conventional silicon-based solar cell.
The dye-sensitized solar cell is a photoelectrochemical system that uses the photoexcitation of a dye-based photosensitizer to generate photocurrent through a chemical reaction. Generally, the dye-sensitized solar cell comprises a substrate, a transparent conductive film, a semiconductor film, a dye, an electrolyte and a counter electrode. The working principles will be illustrated as follows. Firstly, a titanium dioxide or zinc oxide semiconductor film is coated with a special light-absorbing dye. When the dye is irradiated by sunlight, the electrons of the dye are excited from the ground state to the excited state. The excited electrons may be injected into the conduction band of the semiconductor film so as to become free electrons. These free electrons may flow out through conducting glass or conducting plastic, which is connected with the semiconductor film. Consequently, a current is generated. The electrolyte is located at the other side of the dye. The dye molecules that lose the electrons may receive electrons from the electrolyte so as to be restored to its original state. Moreover, after the electrons are released from the dye, the electrons pass through a load and flow to a platinum electrode, which contacts with the electrolyte. Consequently, the lost electrons of the electrolyte are supplemented, and a complete loop is created. In the dye-sensitized solar cell, the structure of the photosensitive dye may influence the photoelectric conversion efficiency and the stability of the dye-sensitized solar cell. Moreover, the selection of the photosensitive dye is highly related to the cost of the dye-sensitized solar cell and even related to the development potential of the solar cell.
Therefore, the present invention provides a photosensitive organic dye for a photoelectric converting device such as a dye-sensitized solar cell. The balance between the photoelectric conversion efficiency, the stability of the solar cell, the ease of the production process and the cost effectiveness may increase the commercial competition of the dye-sensitized solar cell.
The present invention provides a photosensitive organic dye for a photoelectric converting device such as a dye-sensitized solar cell. The photosensitive organic dye has a structural formula (I):
##STR00002##
where,
The present invention also provides a photosensitive organic dye for a photoelectric converting device such as a dye-sensitized solar cell. The photosensitive organic dye comprises a central unit, an electron donor unit, a carbon-carbon triple bond unit, an optional linker unit L, and an electron acceptor unit. The central unit comprises a substituted or unsubstituted aryl with one or more aromatic rings (Aryl1). The electron donor unit includes a substituted electron-donating group NR2R3, wherein N represents a nitrogen atom, and R2 and R3 independently represent identical or different substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups or aryl groups. These units are connected as the following order: Donor-central unit (Aryl1)-CC triple bond-linker-acceptor.
In an embodiment, Aryl1 is selected from substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl or a derivative thereof (e.g. (e.g. dibenzonaphthyl)).
In an embodiment, R2 and R3 independently represent identical or different substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, diphenyl, anthryl or a derivative thereof.
In an embodiment, the linker unit L represents a substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated aliphatic ring or aromatic ring selected from a five or six membered ring containing a conjugated double bond or a five or six membered ring containing at least one heteroatom, wherein the at least one heteroatom is selected from sulfur, oxygen and/or nitrogen.
In an embodiment, the electron-withdrawing group A represents carboxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon carboxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon hydroxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon dihydroxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon dicarboxyl or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon diketone. Preferably, the electron-withdrawing group A has conjugated double bonds, for example an aromatic hydrocarbon group containing one or more aromatic rings. The unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon group is substituted or unsubstituted. Moreover, the unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon group may contain at least one heteroatom, wherein the at least one heteroatom is selected from sulfur, oxygen and/or nitrogen.
The present invention further provides a dye-sensitized solar cell containing the photosensitive organic dye of the present invention.
The prevent invention provides a photosensitive organic dye for a photoelectric converting device such as a dye-sensitized solar cell. When the photosensitive organic dye is irradiated by sunlight, the electrons of the photosensitive organic dye are excited from the ground state to the excited state. In addition, the energy level of the electrons in the excited state should match the energy level of the material of the semiconductor film (e.g. titanium dioxide). Consequently, the excited electrons can be transferred to the semiconductor film to generate the current. Moreover, for increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency, the absorption spectrum range of the photosensitive organic dye should as wide as possible in order to absorb more light energy.
For meeting the above demands, the inventors of the present invention make efforts in developing novel photosensitive dyes. Fortunately, a series of novel photosensitive organic dyes are provided. These series of photosensitive organic dyes are arylamine-based dyes having the following structural formula (I):
##STR00003##
where,
Since the photosensitive organic dye has both of the electron-donating group and the electron-withdrawing group, the photosensitive organic dye is capable of pushing and pulling electrons. Moreover, the carbon-carbon triple bond of the photosensitive organic dye is serially connected between the electron-donating group and the electron-withdrawing group in order to facilitate electronic coupling and electron transfer. Under this circumstance, since the absorption spectrum of the photosensitive organic dye is widened, the efficacy of transferring electrons is enhanced and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is enhanced.
In an embodiment, the arylamine-based photosensitive organic dye contains the linker unit L. The linker unit L is connected between the carbon-carbon triple bond and the electron-withdrawing group A. The presence of the linker unit L may extend the π conjugation length. Consequently, the red shift of the photosensitive organic dye is increased, the absorption spectrum of the photosensitive organic dye is widened, and the optical absorption efficiency is enhanced. In other words, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is further enhanced. In case that the cost, the production process and other factors are taken into consideration, the linker unit L may be excluded. In the absence of the linker unit L, the structural formula of the photosensitive organic dye is expressed by the following formula (II):
##STR00004##
The units of the photosensitive organic dye with the formula (I) will be illustrated in more details as follows.
In the formula (I) of the photosensitive organic dye, Aryl1 represents substituted or unsubstituted aryl with one or more aromatic rings. For example, Aryl1 represents substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or anthryl, perylene, or the combination group of these aryl groups.
The examples of the photosensitive organic dye with substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or anthryl, perylene (i.e. Aryl1) include but are not limited to those represented by the following formulae:
##STR00005##
The examples of the photosensitive organic dye with the combination group of the substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or anthryl, perylene (i.e. Aryl1) include but are not limited to those represented by the following formulae:
##STR00006##
For clearly illustrating the relationships between the units of the photosensitive organic dye, in addition to the examples of Aryl1, the other units (i.e. the carbon-carbon triple bond, the electron-donating group D, the linker unit L and the electron-withdrawing group A) are also shown in the above formulae. These units may have many variant examples. Moreover, the linker unit L may be selectively included in or excluded from the above formulae according to the practical requirements while the balance between the cost, the production process, the photoelectric conversion efficiency or other factors is taken into consideration.
In the formula (I) of the photosensitive organic dye, NR2R3 represents a substituted electron-donating group, wherein N represents a nitrogen atom, and R2 and R3 independently represent identical or different substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups. Preferably, R2 and R3 independently represent two aryl groups. For example, R2 and R3 independently represent substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, diphenyl, anthryl, or any other aryl group with substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, diphenyl or anthryl. The examples of the photosensitive organic dye with the substituted electron-donating group (i.e. NR2R3) include but are not limited to those represented by the following formulae:
##STR00007##
where, R═CnH2n+1 or OCnH2n+1, n=0˜42, and m=0˜5.
For simplifying the production process, R2 and R3 independently represent two identical aryl groups. While the balance between the energy gap, absorption spectrum, the stability or other factors is taken into consideration, R2 and R3 may independently represent two different aryl groups or other hydrocarbon groups. For clearly illustrating the relationships between the units of the photosensitive organic dye, in addition to the examples of the electron-donating group NR2R3, the other units (i.e. the unit Aryl1, the carbon-carbon triple bond, the electron-donating group D, the linker unit L and the electron-withdrawing group A) are also shown in the above formulae. These units may have many variant examples. Moreover, the linker unit L may be selectively included in or excluded from the above formulae according to the practical requirements.
In the formula (I) of the photosensitive organic dye, the linker unit L represents a substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated aliphatic ring or aromatic ring selected from a five or six membered ring containing a conjugated double bond or a five or six membered ring containing at least one heteroatom, wherein the at least one heteroatom is selected from sulfur, selenium, oxygen and/or nitrogen. The examples of the photosensitive organic dye with the linker unit L include but are not limited to those represented by the following formulae:
##STR00008## ##STR00009## ##STR00010## ##STR00011##
Where, R═CnH2n+1, n=0˜12; m=0˜2.
For clearly illustrating the relationships between the units of the photosensitive organic dye, in addition to the examples of the linker unit L, the other units (i.e. the unit Aryl1, the carbon-carbon triple bond, the electron-donating group D and the electron-withdrawing group A) are also shown in the above formulae. These units may have many variant examples.
In the formula (I) of the photosensitive organic dye, the electron-withdrawing group A represents carboxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon carboxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon hydroxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon dihydroxyl, unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon dicarboxyl or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon diketone. Preferably, the electron-withdrawing group A has conjugated double bonds, for example an aromatic hydrocarbon group containing one or more aromatic rings. The unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon group is substituted or unsubstituted. Moreover, the unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon group may contain at least one heteroatom, wherein the at least one heteroatom is selected from sulfur, oxygen and/or nitrogen. The examples of the photosensitive organic dye with the electron-withdrawing group A include but are not limited to those represented by the following formulae:
##STR00012## ##STR00013##
For clearly illustrating the relationships between the units of the photosensitive organic dye, in addition to the examples of electron-withdrawing group A, the other units (i.e. the carbon-carbon triple bond, the electron-donating group D, the linker unit L and the unit Aryl1) are also shown in the above formulae. These units may have many variant examples. Moreover, the linker unit L may be selectively included in or excluded from the above formulae according to the practical requirements.
The unit Aryl1, the electron-donating group D, the optional linker unit L and the electron-withdrawing group A in the formula (I) of the photosensitive organic dye may be determined according to the practical requirements about the desired properties. For example, in case that the molecular weights of the electron-donating group D and the electron-withdrawing group A are larger, the absorption spectrum of the photosensitive organic dye is wider. Moreover, the bifunctional groups of the electron-withdrawing group A (e.g. dihydroxyl, dicarboxyl or diketone) are helpful to the stability of the combination between the photosensitive organic dye and the semiconductor film (e.g. a titanium dioxide semiconductor film). Moreover, in case that the unit Aryl1 is simpler, the fabricating cost is lower and the production complexity is reduced. For example, when the photoelectric conversion efficiency, the ease of the production process and the cost effectiveness are taken into consideration, a preferred example of the photosensitive organic dye is 4-[N,N-Bis(4-hexylphenyl)-10-(trimethylsilyl)ethynylanthracen-9-amino]benzoic acid, which is represented by the following formula (III):

From the above descriptions, the present invention provides a photosensitive organic dye and a dye-sensitized solar cell. The photosensitive organic dye is an arylamine-based dye. The dye-sensitized solar cell containing the photosensitive organic dye is cost-effective and can be easily produced at low temperature. Moreover, since the dye-sensitized solar cell can generate a high voltage and have flexible, colorful and transparent properties, the applications are more extensive. For example, by specially selecting the composition of the photosensitive organic dye, the dye-sensitized solar cell may possess the translucent properties. Consequently, the dye-sensitized solar cell may be used as the construction material of glass curtain wall buildings while possessing the light-shading, heat-insulating and power-generating functions. In case that the dye-sensitized solar cell is applied to the electronic device requiring lower power, the dye-sensitized solar cell is more competitive.
While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
